Norway Grants to contribute to new Roma Holocaust memorial

Prague, The Norway Grants want to contribute to the construction of a Roma Holocaust memorial planned at the site of a former concentration camp for the Roma in Lety, south Bohemia, Norwegian ambassador in Prague Siri Ellen Sletner told journalists on Tuesday.

The victims of the Roma Holocaust should finally have a commemorative site they deserve in the Czech Republic, she said.

Sletner appreciated that the Czech government bought the pig farm built at the site of the Lety camp last autumn.
